Hi all!

Just wondering when you will be washing the baby clothes and other items (blankets, linens, etc) that you're going to be using for the first few weeks? I'm turning 34 weeks this weekend. I just didn't want to do it too early since they might start collecting dust again if ever!

I'm 35 weeks so I started sorting baby clothes out and will be washing all 0-3 months now, including blankets, caps, socks, mittens, etc. I'm leaving the rest for later (or my husband to do ha ha) I found it extremely time consuming and annoying taking all the tags and plastic thingies off, some are so ingrained in there, it's annoying for Baby clothes!

I started washing last week, right after I turned 36 weeks. I have one more load left to wash this week and I should be done. I went ahead and washed everything I have since we're not overloaded on clothes.

36 is perfect. (: Just don't wash everything. Only newborn (a handful of things if they still have tags on them, your baby might be too big for them), and 3 month sizes (in case baby is a bit too big for newborn).

I started washing clothes last weekend (35 weeks). You never know when baby will get here and you'll want to be ready. (FTM, so I'm no expert lol.) They'll be fine in a drawer though. Don't forget to wash the headrest for the carseat.
